A/n Possible trigger warning. Mentions of attempted suicide, anorexia and self harm

Evie's POV:
OMG! IT'S DAN AND PHIL! 'Ok, Evie, stay calm. Just act cool and everything will be fine.' I think to myself as I stare in disbelief at what I'm seeing. This can't be real, this is a dream, it has to be. I punt him myself, ow! No this is 100% real. "Hi, I'm Evie" I say in a reasonably calm tone even though I'm fangirling like crazy on the inside. "Hello Evie, I'm dan and this is Phil" dan says "I know" I reply. "Oh so you're a fan are u?" Phil asks and I nod my head. "You are my idols and pretty much the only people that can make me feel genuinely happy." I smile at them and they smile back. OMG THEIR SMILES, THEY'RE SO CUTE! I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE! 'EVIE! Breathe, stop fangirling!' I say to myself. "So, tell us about yourself" dan says and I start my story and explain my interests. "My parents died in a car crash when I was younger and I had no family that could take me so I was brought here. That's how I discovered my love for YouTube, because I had nothing else to do and I soon became obsessed. I also love to read, I read the whole girl online series in two days. I do ballet, gymnastics and I'm also a figure skater. I play the ukulele and I live to sing, admittedly I sing badly but I still like to do it. (a/n I know I didn't put this in her description at the start but I've only just thought of this) I have quite a weird music taste because I like Panic! At the disco but I also like Ed sheeran and people like that. One of my favourite things to do is draw and paint, I find it relaxing and I often do art when I'm anxious. And that's pretty much it"

Dan's POV:
"And that's pretty much it" Evie finishes telling us about her and I know she's the perfect daughter for me. Me and Phil teen to each other and have a conversation just with our eyes and I can tell he thinks the same as me. However there is one more thing that I need to know "Evie, I need to ask you a few questions, they will not effect our decision but I need to know for your safety" she nods her head to show she understands and probably knows what the questions will be. "Ok, do you suffer from depression?" I ask "yes" she says in a quiet tone. "That's fine, I was too when I was a teenager. Next question, do you self harm?" She fiddles with her sleeve for a few seconds and then answers with "I'm a week clean today." She smiles "congrats" Phil and I say at the same time. "Ok, 2 more questions. Do you have suicidal thoughts or ever attempted suicide?" Her eyes start to water and a tear escapes her eye. I go over to her and wrap my arms around her small waist and so does Phil. "I don't have those thoughts as often as I did but I do get them sometimes and yes I attempted suicide once" she says with more tears spilling. "It's ok" I whisper as i wipe away her tears. "Last question, do you have any type of eating disorder?" I question "yes, anorexia." She squeaks. Me and Phil look at each other and make our decision, we want her. The care worker comes in and asks if we've made our decision and me tell her. We the tern around to Evie. "Evie, go pack your bags, dan will be up to help you when he's done." Phil says. She squeals runs to give us each a hug then charges up stairs. I sign the papers and go help her pack.

Evie's POV:
I rush upstairs and then realise I have to tell Kate that I'm leaving. Uh oh, I hope she understands. Who am I kidding? Of course she will, she's my best friend. As I open the door to my room for the last time I see Kate later on her bed. "Kate, I'm sorry to have to say this but I've been adopted, you can come see me at anytime." I say. She gives me a hug and whispers "I'm so happy for you and I'll definitely take u up on the offer of coming to stay" we laugh and I start to pack. She helps me pack my art stuff while I do the wardrobe. Just as I've finished the wardrobe part dan knocks on the door and helps me pack. I take out my 'special box' which is a box of razors. I think of not packing them but I do, just in case. You never know. Once I'm done I make sure I have my ballet shoes, ice skates and my ukulele and I give one last hug to Kate and I'm on my way. We join Phil downstairs and get in the cab to take us home. Home. That's strange, I've never really had a home. Apart from my home with mum and dad but I can't really remember it. Anyway we arrive at the flat and it all feels so surreal. I go to get my bag but Phil insists on taking it so I carry my ukulele up the mountain of steps. We get in and I gasp. It's just like in their videos just a lot bigger. Dan and Phil show me to my room which is quite a large room with a double bed, a white desk and a book shelf. "We can go shopping for your room and clothes tomorrow" dan says and I smile back at him. I go to look around the room when I notice three presents on my desk, I tern round to them as if to ask who's they were. "They're yours, Evie, open them." Phil says. I open them to find an iPhone 6s Plus, a phone case that says 'rain is just confetti from the sky' on it and a MacBook Pro. I hug dan then Phil and repeat "thank you" over and over again. They then leave me to unpack. 'This has been the best day ever!' I think to myself.
